Flood

Flood from a broken seal in the dishwasher. Water, water everywhere. 2 1/2 hours and a sacrificed floor, basement ceiling and a soaked basement later...guess the warranty is up!

It was such a good day too!

Health up-date. Simple problem. The medication is making me sick, dizzy and nauseous because it has cranked my blood pressure really low. All biopsies benign. Every single thing is a side effect from some of the cancer treatment I had. Current side effect solvable. One good side effect is weight loss. Feel like Alice with the eat me, drink me, shrink and grow thing going on here. Can't wait to turn back into me!

Feel like phoning the super and giving her an earful...except I own this house and thats me!

Profile

I am a textile artist living and working on Mayne Island on the West Coast of Canada.

I like using extreme methods while transforming cloth. That means ripping, tearing, burning, and rotting and using whatever method is needed to create eroded and complex surfaces.This includes using modern, traditional and ancient techniques to produce contemporary fabric art.

I also make sculpture, mixed media work, am a precision dyer and have worked for stage, film and television. Getting to teach workshops, sharing process and inspiration tickles my bones. None of us would know how to sew on a button without sharing skills.
